Sectors we serve

One industry, many different businesses

A residential brokerage, a strata council and a land developer all work in real estate, but their technology needs differ sharply. The brokerage worries about agent devices and trust funds. The council worries about volunteers and records. The developer worries about connectivity at a sales centre on launch day.

We therefore keep separate profiles for each type of firm. Each describes the typical pressures, the regulatory context, the systems we commonly support and an illustrative scenario. The scenarios are examples, not named clients.

Regulation and responsibility

Real estate professionals work under several regimes, including BCFSA licensing, FINTRAC obligations for reporting entities, PIPEDA and BC PIPA, the Strata Property Act and the rules of professional bodies. We do not give legal advice. We build the technical controls, records and evidence that your lawyer and compliance officer rely on.

Choose the profile closest to your business, and read the related services. If you straddle several, such as a developer who also manages buildings, call us and we will assemble a suitable programme.
